Two weeks ago we celebrated Fire Prevention Week at school with a visit from the Richmond Fire Department. This was a real treat just for the first graders, since one of the first grade teachers happens to be the wife of the Fire Marshall. The firemen came in and did a presentation on fire safety and then geared-up one of the first grade teachers. After that the class moved outside where they got to investigate and tour the fire truck. We've done several fire safety programs and toured lots of trucks in the past couple of the years, but this one was by far the best. These firemen were very friendly with the kids, let them ask lots of questions, and explained things in way that the first graders really enjoyed it. Here's some shots from the day.
And yes, encase you noticed, there is a girl who is a whole head and shoulders taller than everyone else in the class!
